LOVING PARENTS

Certain skies weave
dark clouds
to rain
on other lands

as loving parents
away from the sun
 labor inside with their hands

For their children's food
clothing shelter and joy
they take a
faithful stand.

DEFENSE CONTRACTORS' LUNCHEON

At a defense contractor luncheon,

the eagle sculptured in ice

begins to drip water

from his melting beak.

One pointed frozen form

becomes all form.

The waters of peace are not ice

but flowing and flexible.

BELLS ON HIS FEET

It is said

Francis of Assisi

wore on his

barefoot feet bells

to warn the insects

of his advent

that all of

them be well

RESPECTING FROGGIE FEAR

Knowing that froggie fear

was engendered by horsie hooves,
Pegasus grew wings

and then he arose

framed by a sky

of orange pink and rose.

(dedicated to Pegasus rider Robert Maguire, AP's frogangel2, who failing his biology class

rather than dissect a frog)
